THE TRUTH As 1T IL.

For time certain people may MAINTAIN
a wrangle against the authority Of the
United States, an idea founded on the
manufactured preiudices against creditors
who only ask for their rights according
to the capacity Of the State to pay. In
fact as we have explained, The creditors
propose to carry the debt at reduced,
scaled figure, and for the lowest rate Of
interest.
Now, are we to understand that it is pro-
posed to organize the people Of this State
into premeditated resistance to the de-
cree of the United States Supreme Court,
and all this because politicians insist that
their theory of notification should be
tried
We are reluctantly forced sometimes 70
suspect that there is a class of men in Of
flee and in charge Of the Democratic par
ty who would rather see a bad policy
than good one obtain, because the in
auguration of wise and patriotic course
would bring to the front men of capacity
and character and retire the qualifications
lists.
More in sadness than in anger be it
said that the "honored old Common
wealth is in a bad plight when an APP
peal is made for population based on
the principle of multiplying the laws of
the United States.
When the people once understand this
the legal bubbles and technicalities the
abuse of Federal judges, the fantastic
distractions on States rights, and all the
rest of the fabric Of obstructive legisla-
ton will be like a house of cards tum-
bling at the touch of a strong hand
Certainly the people Of Virginia must
feel that they have fought and lost and
suffered enough to know the supreme
force of the inevitable.
We have never argued for bondholders
OF Federal Judges, but have taken the
plea for debt settlement out of the very
view of facts and necessity. And upon
that we urged the wisdom of ranging our
State up along with modern communities
that the generation that fought the war
might hand to the next a recuperated and
redeemed land

1t is difficult to take just measure of

an intelligent one as Mr.. O'Brien, for their

his people have been educated to passion

allow passion more scope than reason in
such case.
In one thing Mr. O'Brien has shown
himself man, and brave and just one.
He declined to allow himself and his
cause to be smirched with the slime of
Henry Georges communism, and took
but moment to declare his detestatior

THE CONFLICT OF AUTHORITY.

The TINES was the only paper yester-
day that published Judge Bonds injunc-
ton restraining the State officers from
carrying out the Coupon Crusher' and
suing people for using coupons.
Why the other papers did not notice
the principal item Of news Of the day
we do not know.
Our own reason for publishing it was
to inform the people Of the truth, as we
propose to do always.
Yesterday Acknowledgement Ayers
served notice Of suit on the Wheeler "
Wilson sewing machine agents, thus de-
fying the mandate OF the Federal court.
Now, what does it matter to our people
to institute a garlulous system Of gossip
criticism on the character of Federal
Judges and the technical points of con-
stitutional law
The United States Supreme Court de-
clared that coupons are valid payment OF
taxes, and the Federal circuit judge is
only carrying out this decree.
A year ago we published cartoon to
illustrate the folly of this fight against
the Federal courts, representing the
States officer in one cell and the coupon
lawyer in another.
Well, Mr. Royal was put in Jail by the
State, and now Mr. Ayers will be put in
jail by the United States.
There is a marked difference in the
cases which illustrates and focuses the
mistake of the policy"
Mr. Royal was liberated by the United
States, but Mr. Ayres can't be liberated
by the State Of Virginia.

lies the present debt question, and we
